Postdoctoral position in hybrid quantum systems

2 weeks ago


Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Chalmers Tekniska Högskola AB Full time

The Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience focuses on research, innovation, and education within the fields of future electronics, photonics, bio- and nanosystems. A close collaboration with Swedish and international partners within academia, industry, and society enables scientific excellence and creates an innovative environment. In addition to the 200 researchers and PhD students, MC2 houses a cleanroom for micro- and nanofabrication with the latest equipment.

In the Hybrid Quantum Systems Laboratory, we develop quantum technologies for sensing and tests of fundamental physics. If you have a passion for highly collaborative, experimental research, this is for you

The aim of the project is to develop a hybrid quantum system capable of generating macroscopic quantum states of motion. To achieve this, we will couple a single atom in an optical tweezer to a mechanical oscillator. On the way to this goal, we will advance the state-of-the-art in nanomechanics, optomechanics, and cavity quantum electrodynamics. This is a highly multidisciplinary project involving nanofabrication, optomechanics, and experimental atomic physics.

The Hybrid Quantum Systems Laboratory is a new laboratory at Chalmers. We offer a newly renovated lab space and a state-of-the-art nanofabrication facility.

Major responsibilities

As a postdoctoral researcher, your main responsibilities are to lead and conduct research in collaboration with others, and to coach PhD students. You will be expected to develop your skills, the team, and contribute with your creative ideas. We value a collaborative attitude and an interest in working both independently and collaboratively in a team environment, sharing best practices and assuming responsibility. Self-motivation, attention to detail, and a creative problem-solving ability are important personal qualities for these positions. We highly value a collaborative spirit, a commitment to inclusive teamwork, and a drive for continuous learning and professional growth, ensuring a supportive environment for all team members.

Qualifications

A Ph.D. in Physics, Applied Physics, Nanotechnology, Photonics, Electrical Engineering, or other relevant field is required.

Experience with any of the following is beneficial:

  1. Experimental atomic physics
  2. Optics
  3. Photonics
  4. Optomechanics
  5. Nanofabrication
  6. Nanomechanics
  7. Cryogenics
Fluency in written and spoken English is necessary. If you are unsure about your qualifications, please contact us.

Contract terms

This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for two years.
